Dr. Roman Brinzanik is a physicist, computational biologist and business developer for renewable energies. He studied philosophy and physics at Goethe University Frankfurt and at Free University Berlin. After his doctorate in complex systems and nano-physics, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, and switched his research to computational molecular biology. Currently, he is a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics, Berlin, and at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Göttingen, focusing on molecular systems biology of energy metabolism and of cancer. He co-authored the transdisciplinary interview book Will We Live Forever? (Suhrkamp, 2010), containing conversations with scientists, philosophers, and artists about the present and future of bio-, nano-, info- and neuro-sciences and about the technological manipulation of human nature. He also devised and moderated participatory and cross-media discourse series about the topics of his book projects, e.g. “Will We Save the Earth?” (Kulturstiftung des Bundes), “Pointing Science” (Körber Foundation, Hamburg) and “Science Gallery Talks” (Max Planck Society and Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences, Berlin). Together with the company KRAFTWERK he develops decentralized renewable energy solutions for emerging and developing economies such as Brazil, Egypt and Kenya. Roman is part of HKW’s and MPIWG’s Anthropocene Curriculum and Campus team, he co-curated the curriculum development and serves as scientific advisor.
